It took less than a minute for Luis Suarez to find the back of the net and give Barcelona the advantage over Valencia.
The opener was a beautifully worked goal that started from the back, helped by some sharp passing and capped off with a lethal finish from the Uruguayan forward.
Gerard Pique got the play started when he found Sergio Busquets surging through the centre. Busquets was instrumental in the build-up, supplying a perfectly weighted pass to Lionel Messi, who ran at defenders before finding Suarez on the right for the toe-poke finish.
Suarez has now scored in four straight La Liga games at the Camp Nou and has eight goals in his last nine matches overall.
